AdSense is an advertisement network of Google from where Google shows different types of promotional videos, pictures (ads), and other types of advertisements on websites, YouTube, and mobile apps.
Why do we need to verify identity in AdSense?
When we connect the Google AdSense account to our YouTube channel or blog website or any app and start showing advertisements on these accounts. When we earn $10 in the AdSense account then we receive a notification from Google Adsense for identity verification. Google wants to be safe and secure its platforms so that is why it asks us for identity verification to verify it is not a bot, it is a real person who is using its product. They want to know if the user who created this AdSense account is a real or a fake program. There is no other reason to collect our info.
How to complete identity verification in the Google AdSense account
First of all, log in to your AdSense account. In the dashboard, on top, you see this type of notification
”Your payment is currently on hold. Action is required to release payment”.
In the right corner of this notification, you can see an action button which we’ll use for identity verification.
So click on the Action button
After clicking on it, you will see this type of interface
Here you see an error message of “Verify your identity” and on the right side there is an option of ‘Verify now’
So click on the ‘verify now’ button
When you click on it you will get this page to verify your identity.
On this page, all the info is available about identity verification like the acceptable documents list, which type of picture the AdSense team will accept, and all other queries.
First of all, provide the Legal name that you are going to use for AdSense verification. Then click on the next button now you can upload the document for verification.
When you submit the document picture then in the next step you need to enter the address line 1 and 2, city, and postal code. These details will be printed on so this is the very important thing.

Which type of photo is accepted for Google AdSense verification
The main thing in identity verification is a photo of your document. If you make any mistake in capturing a picture of the document then your identity verification will fail and you miss a chance of verification.
Keep in mind these things
- The picture of the document will clear (No Flashlight)
- There will be no blur of any info on the document
- The corner of the document in the picture will be shown clearly (Not Cropped)
Capture both the front and back sides of the document and upload the first front side and then you will get an option to upload the back side of the document.
Don’t remove the background of the picture because when you try to remove the background maybe any corner of the document will be cropped this way your identity verification will fail.
How to upload a picture for identity verification
When you combine the pictures and 1 image is ready
Then click on the “Upload” button pick the picture that you make and upload it.
After uploading, the picture submits this picture to the Google AdSense team for review for identity verification.
After submitting the photo you will get this type of message.
“Verification in progress”. Now your verification in pending this may take some minutes, hours, days, or weeks.”
When your verification will be done you will get a confirmation email from the Google AdSense support team.
